Including the Moana ride in Epcot

Hey make fun of the Moana water experience all you want. It was very well done. Doesn't require an ILL or G+, creates some great photo opportunities, and for younger kids is a great time sink playing with the water guitars and other interactive features. Guardians of the Galaxy it is not, but its still a pretty nice addition.Including the Moana ride in Epcot

I'm not making fun of Journey of Water, I'm glad it's in the park and adds something to that area. I was making fun of the article referring to it as a ride when it is a walkthrough attraction. From the article:
The World of Avatar at Animal Kingdom, Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge and the renovation of EPCOT, with new rides around Ratatouille and Moana.
It should have been, I would guess: "...with new rides around Ratatouille and Guardians of the Galaxy."

With no demand
We walked through it with hardly anyone around…but that might have just been a slow day…

As I said, I was talking about now, with the example of where we were last year. Last fiscal year Entertainment included a 2.5 billion deficit from D+. This year we're looking at 4+ billion, even if the Studios are another royal bust. Every segment is self-funding, every segment has plenty of money to screw things up with - the myth I was trying to dispel.

Haunted mansion was an “E” - I want more of that please. Delight me and give me an experience and one that I can enjoy through my, idk, 80s?

Oh I don’t disagree…one of the big myths is “they can’t build new rides cause Willow bombed on D+…”
Not at all…two different things.
They can’t build rides because their 24 year old analysts would rather raise the price on upsell tickets for 40 year old rides rather than make the day to day tickets a better deal.

EPIC GAMES PRESENTS.... THE PLAY! PAVILION!
Disney Bets $60B Its Parks Will Power the Future
The $9.1 billion that the Josh D’Amaro-led unit reels in is an undeniable bright spot in Bob Iger’s empire. Now it’s being pushed to do even more.www.hollywoodreporter.com
Some press has gone out regarding the investment, mostly stuff we have heard before (it drills in over and over that almost all of the additions will be IP related), there are some tidbits on the IPs that are going to prioritized in it (Black Panther, Coco, Encanto and something Frozen related for California are mentioned and the possibility of collaborating with Epic Games on parks related projects are brought up). In addition, some behind the scenes stuff in regards to how they work with the movie/tv side to see if certain projects are theme parkable or not, how a recession will be disney's excuse to not invest and how theme parks are a growth buisness at the moment.

That’s actually not a terrible idea… kids today love Fortnite. Epic also owns Rocket League and Fall Guys

…it looks like something that they should have put as a diversion outside the new Polyday Inn DVC tower…like that level.
What did that take? 3 years to build?

LOL, yeah, it could raise by as much as $30 under Chapek. And under Iger? $40.

I was there over the Princess Half-Marathon weekend. There were at least 6 other people in each area as you walked through, and sometimes as many as 10!
